EXPLANATIONS. 

This genealogy is arranged according to the plan adopted by the New- 
England Ilislorical and Genealogical Register, which has come into general 
use. Thus on page 21 llie figures on the left of the page denote the 
successive numbers of the heads of the families which will be taken up 
again; when a number is omitted before a name it indicates that such a name 
will not be mentioned again. Thus 11, 1, William, etc., we find again on 
page 27, where he is brought up with full particulars and his full family record 
given. The small e.xponent figures as on page 27, which follow thus, \Villiam3 
Scott (William-', Williami), show the number of the generation from the 
common ancestor William Scott. 

Abbreviatio.ns.— b. for born; d. for died; m. for married; unm. for 
unmarried; dau. for daughter. 

Old a.nd New Style.— All dates prior to 1752 are supposed to conform 
to the old style then used.

PREFACE. 

Primarily the writer was prompted to undertake the compilation 
of the Scott Genealogy because of his connection with the family 
by marriage, and because so little had appeared in print concerning 
the descendants of William Scott of Hatfield. The quest for 
material has extended through the period of fifteen years, as time 
could be spared to devote to the subject. All available means have 
been resorted to for the purpose of rendering the work as complete 
as possible, by search in public records and through extensive corre- 
spondence in this country and Canada. A few families may not be 
found in this compilation because no response could be obtained in 
answer to solicited records, and a limited number of families seem 
to have dropped out of the reach of earnest inquiry. 

Only those who have engaged in similar work can realize the 
needed patience and perseverance required to bring such a task to a 
satisfactory conclusion. For this reason the compiler desires to 
acknowledge his great indebtedness to the hosts of correspondents 
who have, in the main, so heartily responded to his inquiries, and 
have made the completion of the genealogy possible. He has been 
especially indebted to the late lamented William M. Scott of Cam- 
bridge, Vt., who took a deep and abiding interest in the prosecution 
of the work, and gathered a valuable amount of data pertaining to 
his branch of the Scott family. It was through his earnest search 
that the descendants of Daniel Scott were found in Canada, who 
had been lost sight of for an' entire century. 

The descendants of John Scott of Springfield have been given a 
place in this work, because by many he is thought to have been a 
near relative to William Scott, although the connection has not as 
yet been made clear. 

As no work of this nature has yet attained to perfection, the com- 
piler desires any one who may discover any error to kindly advise 
him of it, that it may be corrected in an addenda if advisable. 

Again thanking all who have rendered aid, the compiler trusts 
that this completed work will prove an acceptable memorial of a 
time-honored family, whose sons and daughters have contributed so 
much to the material welfare of their respective communities.

INTRODUCTION. 



Antiquity of the Name of Scott.* 

" The theory of Professor Inness of Edinborough University, in 
relation to the original name of Scott in Scotland, is that long before 
surnames were known the people of that country who wandered into 
England received the distinctive appellation of Scotus or Scot, and 
returned to Scotland bearing the name of Scot in addition to their 
former name. The canny lad who crossed the border a plain 
Robert, returned in time from P^ngland as Robert Scot, and reared 
a family who retained the surname of their ancestor. In 1686 
Satchells wrote a history of the name of Scott, in which he carried 
it back to the days of Charlemagne. 

" Buchanan, in his history of Scotland, confirms this. He asserts 
that Charles the Great sent to Scotland for some learned and pious 
men who read philosophy in Greek and Latin at Paris, among 
whom were Johannes, surnamed Scotus. He was the preceptor of 
Charlemagne and left many monuments of learning which puts it 
beyond a doubt that the surname of Scot is of great antiquity. 

" But Hector Beothius, and other historians, among whom are 
Vermundus, Cornelius, and Scoleger, claim a still more remote 
antiquity for the name of Scot than is accorded by Satchells. 
Boethius avers that the name of Scot originated from Scota, the 
daughter of that Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that was drowned in the 
Red Sea. Thus : — Gathelus, son of Cecrops, first king of Athens, 
and a native of Egypt, became so insolent and troublesome at his 
father's court that he was banished the kingdom ; wherefore with a 
large band of fugutives he left Greece and went to Egypt in the

INTRODUCTION. 



time of iMoscs, at a pericl when Pharaoh was engaged in a war 
with neighboring nations; joining his forces with the Egyptions, he 
was made a general and soon subdued the natives at war with 
Pharaoh, and so won the favor ami confidence of that monarch that 
he gave his daughter, named Scota, in marriage. About this time 
Egypt was visited with the plague of which we read, because 
Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go. In order to escape 
from the plague, which was carrying oH multitudes, Gathelus and 
Scota, his wife, with a large number of (keeks and Egyptians put to 
sea and afterwards landed in Spain, called that portion of the country 
Port Gathale, which is now known as Portugal. Here he named the 
people " Scottis," from the affection he bore to his wife Scota. 

"After years of bloody wars with the barbarians of Spain 
Cathelus, with his colony, sailed for and landed in Ireland, and 
afterwards went over to the northern part of Britain, which was 
called Scotland (the land of the Scots) from the Scots who planted 
themselves there. 

" We have the testimony of Seneca that the name of Scot was 
known to some writer in the first century. The Bishop of Aberdeen, 
who searched all the monuments of antiquity of Scotland, says all 
concur that the name of Scot was derived from Scota, the most 
important person in the colony. 

"Long anterior to the general use of surnames, natives of Scotland 
who domiciled in England in the same period, or other countries, 
added " Scotus " to their proper name to denote their nativity or 
descent, as Johannes, surnamed Scotus, mentioned by Buchanan; 
John Duns Scotus, one of the greatest scholars of his time, of whom 
Halles says "at Oxford 30,000 pupils attended his lectures;" 
Marianus Scotus, the learned monk of Eulde, historian, etc. 

" As we come down to the Norman period in England, distin- 
guished persons who had Scotch blood in their veins added the 
christian name " le Scot," as John le Scot last I':arl of Chester, and 
his grand nephew, William Baliol le Scot, ancestor of the Scotts of 
Scotts Hall, Kent. 

" In lirocess of time the tendency of North Britain to pass into 
England became common, and as surnames came generally into use 
about the eleventh century, many descendants of Scotia assumed 
the name of Scott, usually spelled with one t, down to the beginning 
of the seventeenth century, with few exceptions. 



INTRODUCTION. 9 

"The Scotts of Harden, according to good authority, sprang from 
the Laird of Sintur, of which family was Sir Waher Scott ; another 
notable member of this family is the Rev. Dr. Robert Scott, a 
proficient scholar and master of Baliol College, Oxford. 

"The Scotts of Scotts Hall, Kent, trace their pedigree in an 
unbroken line through Dervorgille (daughter and one of the heirs of 
Alan, lord of Galloway, Constable of Scotland), the mother of 
William Baliol Scot, to Fergus, king of Scotland, in the time of 
Alexander the Great, to Rollo, first duke of Normandy ; Baldwin, 
first Count of Flanders ; Henry I, emperor of Germany ; Waldimer 
the Great of Russia ; Romanus I, of the Greek empire ; Alfred the 
Great ; William the Conqueror ; and finally to Charlemagne ; mainly 
through female branches ; also to David I, of Scotland, and Stuard, 
earl of Northumberland, of a different line. The old Norman 
church at Brabourne, Kent, contains many monuments of the Scotts 
of Scotts Hall, some of which date back to the thirteenth century. 
In Kent, Staffordshire, and the Scotch border, for long generations 
the family of Scott has been one of great wealth and power ; at 
one period it was said the Scotts of Scotts Hall could travel from 
Brabourne to London (some fifty or sixty miles) without leaving the 
estates of the family connections. It is an historical record that in 
1665 "Lady Anna Scott was esteemed the greatest fortune and most 
^ccomphshed lady of the Isle of Britain." 

" In Scotch history we meet with John Scot, a native of Cheshire, 
England, who was elected Bishop of St. Andrews in 1178. The first 
of the name of Scot to be met with in English history after sur- 
names came into general use was John Scott, the last earl of Chester, 
born A. D. 1206; Sir Peter Scott, first mayor of Newcastle in 1251, 
and Sir Nicholas Scott his son, capital Bailiff of Newcastle in 1269. 
The Scotts of Holden, Kent, date back to John Scott, 1442. 

" During the last six centuries those bearing the name of Scott 
have earned honors in literature, arts and arms, and have frequently 
performed parts that have turned the tide even in the destiny of 

nations." 

" Better hearts o'er the border sod 
To seige or rescue never trod." 



TO INTRODUCTION. 

The Scott Coats of Arms. 

The name of Scott ranks among the most prominent British 
surnames, nearly 60 coats of arms being assigned to it in the 
Herald's College, and Burke gives the arms of 94 of the name, 
while the London Directory shows about 200 merchants, traders and 
bankers of this name in that metropolis. 

The Heraldric Journal, p. 103, gives good reasons for supposing 
that the Scotts of New England came from the branches of Scotts 
Hall, Kent Co., England, so as a matter of general interest I give a 
description of the coat of arms of this famous house as follows : 

Shield of eight quarterings, viz : — 

r. Argent, three Catherine wheels sable, a bordure engrailed, 
gules. 

2. Barry of six, argent and gules, a chief vaire. 

3. Purpure, a lion rampant, and crowned, gold. 

4. Chequy, gold and azure. 

5. Argent fjutte de sang, a saltier sable. 
C. :\rgent, a bend double, cotised, gules. 

7. (rules a fesse between six cross-croslets, fitchee, argent. 

8. (jules, a chevron between three trifoils argent. 

Some Scotts Who Came Early to This Country. 

Of the Scott families which came early to this county the 
following are known to have been connected with the branches of 
the Scotts of Scotts Hall, Kent, viz : — Richard Scott of Providence ; 
John Scott of Long Island fame, who came in 1642 ; Judge Edward 
Scott of Newport, R. L, and his cousin, James Scott, about 17 10. 

The above Richard Scott was probably the son of Richard of 
(ilemsford, England, born in 1607 ; he was of the church in Boston 
1634. He soon removed to Providence. He married Catherine 
Marbury, 1637-8. He was said to have been the first convert of the

Descendants of William Scott of Hatfield, Mass. 

1 668" 1906. 

Long and dilligent search has been made for the parentage of 
VVilUam Scott, but as yet the problem remains unsolved. There 
seems to have been no clue left by which we can judge whence or 
when he came to this country, for it now seems probable that he was 
an emigrant. He first appears on the scene at Hatfield about 1668, 
just a little later than John Scott at Spi-ingfield ; and from the similar 
names in both families the inference is drawn that they may have 
been brothers or very near of kin, for John also has left no trace of 
his ancestory. It is to be deplored that they left no record of their 
extraction to gratify the reasonable curiosity of their descendants. 
It is quite reasonable, however, to suppose that they were both 
scions of that proud house of Scotts of Scotts Hall of Kent, 
England, from which so many claim descent in this country, but this 
is only conjecture. The late J. M. Crafts, in his history of VVhately, 
favors the <)i)inion that William Scott was the son of Thomas of 
Hartford, but a few months before his death he wrote me that he 
had abandoned that idea and averred his belief that he was his 
grandson ; but in presenting his argument to ])rove this suggestion 
he had overlooked the fact that he had merged the lives of Thomas 
Scott of Ipswich and Thomas of Hartford into the same person, 
which fact upsets his theory. The reader will clearly see that our 
William Scott could not have been a descendant of either by care- 
fully reading the sketches of them in previous pages. My suggestion 
is that our William Scott may have been connected in some way 
with Benjamin Scott of Braintree, where his father-in-law, William 
Allis, was located some twelve years before settling in Hadley, which 
might account for his acquaintance with his future wife and for his 
coming to Hatfield.

As before stated, William Scott came to that part of Hadley now 
Hatfield, about 1668. He married, Jan. 28, 1670, Hannah, daughter 
of Lieut. William Allis of Hatfield, b. about 1649. Lieut. Allis was 
an emigrant from England who settled first in Watertown, then in 
Braintree 1656 to 1658, later in Hartford, and finally was one of 
the original proprietors of Hadley in 1661. He was assigned a 
houselot on the west side of the river, now Hatfield, where he 
became the leading citizen for many years. He held the office of 
deacon, lieutenant of cavalrv, justice of the peace and selectman. 
He died Sept. 6, 1678. His estate was inventoried at ^496-63*. 
Aug. 8, 1670, William Scott was assigned a home lot 20 rods in 
width on the east side of the street near the north end of the street, 
opposite of Sergt. Ben Wait's, and this lot of Ben Wait's was where 
John Brown lived in 1882. There were two lots north of William 
Scott's before we reach the road running to the ferry. f Jan. 16, 
1 67 1, he had another grant of land on the plains. He also had 
division in the commons. Hatfield street as first laid out extended 
one mile north and south; the street was about 10 rods wide and 
the house lots of about eight acres each were laid out on each side. 
As William Scott was some seven years later in coming than the 
original settlers his home, as has been stated above, was located at 
the north end of the long street, near the present estates of Ellis 
Wait and William Dorothy (according to information furnished by 
Mr. D. W. Wells of Hatfield). 

Here then our ancestor began life in a somewhat rude house ; but 
as a sawmill had been erected in Hatfield in 1664 or 5, no doubt he 
had a framed house inclosed by boards in a plain way. But this old 
first home has passed away long ago, as have all the others which 
were then scattered along the old street. At this time there were 
probably about thirty families in town. The rich meadows of 
Hatfield were mostly clear of trees when the whites settled there, 
and ready for the plow, where the red race for ages had raised corn ; 
so the yeomen of the valley had a much easier time to commence 
life than those who settled in the hill towns. 

" The Hatfield lands were mostly purchased from the Indian 
chiefs Umponchalla and Quanquont, of the Norwottuck tribe." J

As the Indians had been fairly dealt with peace had subsisted 
between them and the settlers till war was incited by the wily King 
Philip. On October 19, 1675, the Indians, numbering nearly Soo, 
made a furious onset upon Hatfield with the determination to 
destroy the town and slay the inhabitants, but they had been expected 
by the English, who received them so hotly that they were beaten 
off and the town saved with small loss to Hatfield.* 

William Scott joined the expedition which made the attack upon 
the Indians at the Falls (now Turners Falls) May 19, 1676, which 
resulted in the signal defeat of the enemy, as well as the death of 
many English, William Allis Jr., a brother-in-law of William Scott, 
being one of the number killed. This was one of the most noted 
battles of the valley. On Sept. 19, 1677, another attack was made 
upon Hatfield by the Indians, when twelve persons were killed and 
seventeen captives taken. These captives were redeemed excepting 
three, who were killed by the Indians. 

l~his digression is made to show the perils amid which our 
ancestors labored. During these scenes of turmoil Hatfield lost 
about one-half of her dwellings by their being destroyed by the 
enemy. A portion of Hatfield street was in time protected by a 
palisaded inclosure, which was formed by setting split timbers eight 
feet long in the ground in an upright position, the tops being 
fastened by cross timbers. William Scott's house being at the 
extreme north end of the street, must have been outside of this 
enclosure. 'I'his was indeed a time when it required nerve to move 
beyond the smoke of one's own dwelling ; the Indian lurked on 
every hand and no one knew when a blow would be struck. I That 
William Scott performed his full share in the common defense is 
evinced l)y the fact that in 1677 the General Court at Boston 
allowed him for military expenses £, 2, 16 s. But war's alarms 
ceased after a while and prosperity smiled on our river town, and the 
farmer added to his acres and the family grew in number as the 
years rolled by. It seems that the staid dames of that elder day 
were fond of finery as now, and although the law was stern yet in 
1673 we find that William Scott's wife and five other Hatfield women 
were fined for wearing silk contrary to the law.

William Scott appears to have been a prosperous man in his day, 
and at the close of his long life had accumulated quite a property in 
landed estate. Besides his house lot on the main street he had a 
lot each in the north and south meadows. In the first division of 
commons he had lot No. 65, 14 rods wide and over three miles long. 
In division No. 3 he had lot No. 6, which was 13 rods wide and 
about three miles long ; these were located in Hatfield. In division 
No. 2 he had lot No. 40, 12 rods wide and about two miles long. 
In division No. 4 he had lot No. 69, which was 13 rods wide and 
four miles in length. These two last lots were in the present town 
of Whately.* I have sought — diHgently through the Hatfield 
Town Records, as well as in the old cemetery — for the date of 
death of William Scott, but have failed to find it. There is no 
headstone to mark his grave. I was fortunate enough to find a 
copy of his will among the archives of Memorial Hall at Deerfield, 
dated Feb. 15, 17 16. This is the original will, but I am inclined to 
the opinion that it was not admitted to probate, as no record of it 
can be found at Northampton, where it should appear. It is 
probable that William Scott died about 1718; if so, he was about 

83. 

The will commences in this wise : " In the name of God, Amen. 

The fifteenth day of February in the 3d year of his Majesty's 
reign, Anno Domini 17 16-17, I, William Scott of Hatfield, in the

DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. 1 9 

The date of death of Josiah Scott and of his wife have not been 
ascertained. It is inferred that they both attained to a good old 
age. He was one of the earhest settlers in the present town of 
Whately, Mass., about 17 19, in the district called Hopewell, when he 
built a log house on the old Deerfield road north of the Zebine 
Bartlett place. In 1736 the General Court granted to the survivors 
or the descendants of those who served in the Falls fight of May 18, 
1676, a grant of land in the new township of Falltown, now 
Bernardston, and Josiah Scott, whose father, William, was one of the 
soldiers in that memorable conflict, was one of the grantees, but he 
seems to have turned his claim over to his son Moses, as we shall 
see later. 

The following from the history of Whately probably refers to the 
family of Josiah Scott : 

" It is current tradition that no family of the name of Scott was 
molested by the Indians in their numerous raids in the valley after 

I the close of King Philip's war. To account for it the story goes that 
one of the name had a dream for three successive winter nights that 
an Indian family encamped in Hopewell was in a starving condition. 
Influenced by the repetition of his dream he started with his snow 
shoes and gun, and at the foot of Hopewell Hill shot a bear, with 
the meat of which he saved the lives of the, as he found, starving 
Indians ; and they never forgot his kindness. Of the encampment 

I on the spot indicated there is no doubt, as the records show, and 
their household utensils, etc. are found in abundance, and the writer 

; has not met with the name Scott among the captives or those killed 

i in predatory excursions after 1697, the date of the breaking up of 
the Indian camp at Hopewell." 

Josiah Scott deeded, Nov. 6, 1745, the land he had in Bradstreet's 

grant and other lots in the division of commons in Hatfield to his 

son Josiah. He thus conveyed 37^ acres lying on the northerly part 

of Bradstreet's grant, and bounded west and north on the second 

division of commons, east on the Connecticut river, and south on 

Dea. Dickenson's land, with the buildings thereon, where J. M. 

Crafts lately lived. 

Children b. in Hatfield : 

I. Josiah, b. Nov. 29, 1699; m. Mary ; date and 

place of death not known, neither has any record of 
his children been found. From the county records 
we find that he sold June 16, 1749, one-half of the 
land in Hatfield, received from his father, to his 
brother Elijah, and on Mar. 23, 1754, he sold the

was then Hving at Ware River Precinct, now Ware, 
Mass. On Sept. 30, 1766, he sold land in Ware

him or his descendants.

Beardsley, was the daughter of William of Hartford. 

Richard Scott removed from Hatfield to Sunderland soon after

Capt. Scott was one of the pioneers who settled in Falltown, now 
Bernardston. He was given an allotment of land on account of the 
services rendered by his grandfather, William Scott, in the Falls fight 
of 1676. His farm embraced all the meadow north of the village 
as far as the old cemetery, and the upland now known as the Warner 
place, where he built a house which was taken down some 100 years 
ago. He also erected and owned the saw-mill near the present iron 
bridge on Fall river, and ran it for many years. There has since 
been a mill on the same site until quite recently. He was a man of 
powerful physique, six feet in height, having the strength, it is said, 
of four ordinary men. He was a farmer, carpenter and soldier, and 
excelled in each occupation as duty demanded. He had the over- 
sight of constructing the first forts built in Falltown, and was not 
backward in their defense. 

The pioneers of the new town did not enjoy a long respite from 
danger, for war was declared by Great Britain against France and 
Spain Mar. 29, 1744, which involved New England as usual in the 
conflict with the French of Canada and their allies, the Indians of 
both Canada and New England. In Colrain and Falltown several 
houses were stockaded and some forts erected. Roaming parties of 
Indians were frequently seen in the woods seeking for an oppor- 
tunity to inflict damage or take captives. 

Some time in 1746, it is thought, Capt. Scott took his family to 
Fort Massachusetts, located in the present town of Adams, for their 
better protection. 

"In the month of Aug., 1746, M. Rigaud de Vaudreuil 
marched from Crown Point, with about eight hundred French 
and Indians, and invested Fort Massachusetts on the twentieth. 
The garrison at the time consisted of only twenty- two effective 
men under the command of Sargeant, afterward Lt. Col., John 
Hawkes; Capt. Williams, the former commander, having joined 
the forces then raised for an expedition against Canada. Not- 
withstanding the inferiority of his force the brave Sargeant 
rejected the proposals of the French commander, and resolved to 
defend the place to the last extremity. For twenty-eight hours, 
with small arms only and a small supply of ammunition, he resisted' 
the efforts of the enemy and kept them at a respectful distance. 
Habituated to sharp shooting, the garrison singled out the assailants 
whenever they exposed themselves and brought them down at long 
shots. Instances occurred in which the enemy were thus killed at 
the extraordinary distance of sixty rods, and they often fell when 



24 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. 

they sup])ose(l themselves in perfect security. Having at length 
expended most of his ammunition, the brave commander reluctantly 
consented to submit, and a capitulation was agreed upon by 
which the garrison was to remain prisoners of war until exchanged or 
redeemed, to be humanely treated, and none to be delivered to the 
Indians. Vaudreuil however, the next day, in violation of the 
articles of capitulation, delivered one-half of the captives into the 
hands of the irritated Indians, by whom a sick man was immedately 
murdered ; l)ut the others were treated with humanity, carried to 
Crown Point, thence to Canada, and afterwards redeemed. Hawks 
lost but one man during the seige, but the enemy, according to 
information afterwards obtained, had forty-seven killed or badly 
wounded."* 

From a return made by Sergeant Hawkes we learn that Moses, 
Stephen and Joseph Scott were among the brave defenders of 
the fort. Moses Scott, with his wife and two young children and 
cousins, Stephen and Joseph, were taken to Canada with the other 
prisoners. 

Referring to Rev. John Norton's Dairy as given in Perry's 

Williamstown, I extract the following : 

"Friday, Aug. 22 (1746). They also (the French) carried 
Moses Scott's wife and two children, and another of Smead's 
children." 

" Monday, 15 (Sept). This day we sailed seven leagues and came 
to Quebec." 

"Dec. II (1746). Died Miriam, the wife of Moses Scott. She 
was taken with me at Fort Massachusetts ; she got a cold in the 
journey, which proved fatal, her circumstances being peculiar. She 
was never well after our arrival at Canada, but wasted away to a 
skeleton and lost the use of her limbs." 

" Feb. II (1647). Died in the morning, Moses Scott, son of Moses 
Scott. He was a child about two years old, and died with the 
consumption." 

Capt. Scott returned Aug. 26, 1747, having been in captivity 53 
weeks and i day. On his release from captivity he was unable to 
obtain the liberation of his son Ebenezer, who had been sold to an 
Indian; but some three years afterward he returned to Quebec to 
redeem his son. When he discovered him he had lost the knowl- 
edge of his mother tongue, and ran like deer from his father's 
presence into tlie woods. It required a nimble Indian to catch 
him and bring him back. At last his father succeeded in taking

him home, but the boy was so thoroughly imbued with Indian ways 
that he was often found in the morning wrapped in his banket lying 
on the floor, which he seemed to prefer to a civilized bed. 

After his return to Falltown, Moses Scott married a second time ; 
but the records do not disclose her name ;* he was in Capt. Israel 
Williams' Co., stationed in Colrain Oct. 19, 1756 to Jan. 23, 1757 ; 
his name also appears in John Burke's enlistment roll ending 
Nov. 30, 1758; he is said to have been on several expeditions to 
Lake George and against Canada. "In 1760 Moses Scott and 
Samuel Connable were granted ^27 to build a bridge across 
Fall River at the saw mill, which was the first bridge built in the 
town."t 

When in 1762 Falltown was organized into a township and took 
the name of Bernardston, he was chosen one of the first selectmen 
and was re-elected several times thereafter ; he also held various 
other responsible town offices and was a man highly respected. He 
died in Bernardston, where his gravestone may still be seen in the 
old cemetery north of the village, with this inscription, "To the 
memony of Capt. Moses Scott, who died July 23, 1799, ae. 86." 

" Some weeping friend may drop a tear 
On these dry bones and say, 
They once were strong as mine appear; 
And mine must be as they." 

It has thus far remained an unsolved problem when Moses Scott 
received his commission as captain. Just before sending copy to the 
printer the writer wrote to Hon. W. M. Olin, Secretary of State, to 
learn if the archives of Massachusetts throw any light upon the subject, 
the following being an extract from the reply : " There is little 
doubt that Moses Scott obtained his title of captain from having 
commanded the local militia company of the town of Bernardston, 
but unfortunately the confirmations of the a])pointments of the 
militia officers of the Province are not to be found in the State 
archives, although at times incidental references appear in the 
Legislative or the military records that supply proof of this fact, 
that the title evidently belonged to the individual." 

So the matter will have to rest, unless perchance the finding of 
some dust-covered document shall reveal the secret.

McGregory was an early settler in Enfield: m. Aug. 12, 171 2,

Hannah (Warriner) Pease; Robert Pease was b. Mar. 25, 1667, 
the son of Robert and the grandson of the first Robert Pease of 
Salem, Mass., and the cousin of John and Robert Pease, the first 
worthy settlers of Enfield, Conn. His wife, Hannah, b. 1674, was 
the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Montague) Warriner, Joseph 
being the son of William and Joanna (Scott) Warriner, the pioneer 
settlers of Springfield. Mary, the wife of Joseph Warriner, was the 
daughter of Richard and x'\bigail (Downing) Montague of Boston. 
Richard Montague was born 16 14 and was the son of Peter and 
Eleanor (Allen) Montague of Boneng, Parish of Burnham, Buckin- 
hamshire, England. The Montagues were descendants from Drago 
de Montague, who came from Montague les Baes, France. He was 
in the battle of Hastings, under Robert, Earl of Morton, and for his 
services was rewarded by the bestowal of several manors in 
Somerset. 

The Montague coat of arms was " argent, three fisels, in fess 
gules, between three pellets, (or vergress)." Richard Montague 
came to New England about 1637 and married Abigail Downing. 
He finally settled in Hadley, Mass., where he d. 1687. The author 
of the Downing Genealogy says .'\bigail was the daughter of Rev. 
Dr. Downing of Norwich, Eng., who was descended from Sir 
Jeffrey Dowing, the founder of the house, who m. Elizabeth, the 
daughter of Thomas Wingfield, who was descended from William 
the Conqueror, who married Maud, daughter of Baldwin V, Count 
of Flanders. 

Ebenezer Scott, d. in Vernon, Vt., Mar. 3, 1826; she d. there 
Mar. 23, 1826. " 

Ebenezer Scott was among the captives taken to Canada after the 
capitulation of Fort Massachusetts, Aug., 1746. His mother and 
brother Moses died in captivity, as has been related in connection 
with his father's life. After being in captivity at Quebec one year 
the father of Ebenezer was released, but for some reason the ransom 
of the son could not then be arranged, but three years later Capt. 
Scott returned to Canada and redeemed his son from an Indian 
chief to whom he had been sold. When discovered the son had lost 
all knowledge of his mother tongue and ran from his father like a 
deer into the woods. It required a nimble Indian to catch him and 



DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. ;^^ 

bring him back. At last the father succeeded in taking him home, 
but the boy was so thoroughly imbued with Indian ways that he was 
often found in the morning wrapped in his blanket lying on the floor, 
which he seemed to prefer to a civilized bed. 

The author of the History of Bernardston, Mass., has gathered 
these facts from original sources regarding the service of Corp. 
Ebenezer Scott in the Revolutionary war : 

" On the roll of Capt. Agrippa Wells' Co., dated April 20 to May 
I, 1775, appears the name of Corp. Ebenezer Scott of Bernardston, 
out 10 days." 

*' Col. Whitcomb's regiment, Capt. A. Wells' Co., dismissed Sept. 
23) 1775) contains from Bernardston the name of Ebenezer Scott. 
The pay roll of the men credited them with being out from May ist, 
in all three months and eight days, and traveling 112 miles." 

"In June 1780 it was decreed that nine men should be engaged 
in the war six months, and they should each receive forty shillings 
($6.67) per month, or wheat, rye, Indian corn, wool, flax, neat cattle 
or sheep at silver money prices." 

From Shelden's History of Deerfield, p. 709, " with Warren on 
Bunker HiU Aug. i, 1775 — Roll of Capt. Agrippa Wells' Co., 
Ebenezer Scott of Bernardston." 

From the foregoing it will be seen that Ebenezer Scott gave 
notable service to his country, and from another source it is learned 
that he was granted a pension by the government. After the war he 
settled in the present town of Vernon, Vt., as will be seen by the 
following copy of the original deed : 

" Know all men by these presents, that I, Artemas Cushman of 
Bernardston, in the county of Hampshire, and Commonwealth of 
Mass., Clothier, in consideration of the just sum of one hundred 
pounds lawful money paid to me in hand, before the delivery hereof, 
by Eben'r Scott of Hinsdale in the county of Cumberland and state 
of Vermont, so-called, yoeman, the receipt whereof I do hereby 
acknowledge, have given, granted, bargained and sold, and do by 
these presents, give, grant, bargain, sell, aliene, and fully, freely, and 
absolutely convey and confirm unto him, the said Ebenr Scott, his 
heirs and assigns forever, one certain piece of land lying in 
Hinsdale, containing by estimation one hundred and twenty- two 
acres be the same more or less, lying in the divisions of commons 
in Northfield, commonly caUed the fourth Division. Reference to 
Record for boundry." 

The above deed was executed Dec. 30, 17 84, and signed by 
Artemus Cushman and witnessed by David Smead and Elisha 
Burnham. This farm was located around the Lily Pond in Vernon.

Scott settler. ,

was a soldier in the Revolution, was with Ethan Allen at the capture 
of Fort Ticonderoga, in the battles of Lexington and Trenton. He 
was a brave, intrepid man, and in his declining years loved to tell 
over the incidents of his soldier life. He drew a pension in his old 
age. He was a man of property and owned and lived on a farm in 
the west part of Bernardston, recently known as the Martin Deven- 
port place. He was buried in the new cemetery in the village of 
Bernardston, but no headstone marks his resting place. His wife 
survived him and spent her last days with a daughter in Utica, N. 
Y., where she died at the age of 87. When she was past 80 years 
of age she rode in a sleigh with her son-in-law to the village of 
Little Falls. She was left a few moments in the sleigh while he went 
to transact some business in the mill near by ; during his absence 
the horse became restless and backed off a precipice of great height. 
The son-in-law came out in great alarm to learn what had happened ; 
he looked over the dizzy height and saw the demolished sleigh and

years old, he left home and went to Newport, N. Y., where he 
learned the carpenter's trade. About 1820 he came to Rutland, 
N. Y., and was engaged in building for some ten years. He pur- 
chased a farm near Black River, on which he lived until 1859. He 
then retired from active labor and moved to Watertown, purchasing 
a place on upper State street, where he continued to reside until his 
death. He took the premium offered by the agricultural society for 
the best kept farm on several occasions. The stone walls built by 
him upon his Rutland farm, five miles in length, are still standing. 
The Methodist church being the only one near him after he came to 
this county, he united with it and continued a faithful member 
through life. He was a trustee of the Methodist church at Black 
River, settled in 1845, and was assessor and commissioner of high- 
ways of the town of Rutland. In politics he was independent in 
early life, and was among the founders of the Republican party." *

He inherited some land in Pownal, Vt., from his father's estate, 
which he sold Feb. 25, 1788 for ^142; this same year he went 
alone to Fletcher, Vt., took up a tract of land, erected a log house 
and barn, cleared some land, burning the timber as he cut it, sowed 
some grain among the stumps, and after securing it in the fall 
returned to his family at Bennington. The following winter he 
conveyed his wife and child on a sled drawn by a pair of steers to 
Fletcher, a distance of 160 miles from Burlington, then containing 
but three log cabins ; the course led through the forest a distance of 
25 miles, with blazed trees for a guide. His wife had an inverted 
sugar tub for a seat, with a scanty list of articles with which to 
commence housekeej)ing in the new log house. The afore- 
mentioned sugar tub remained in the family for 75 years, and was 
annually filled with maple sugar. They arrived at their destination 
in safety and began life in earnest, and as Mr. Scott was the second 
settler in town the life of the family must have been a lonely one for 
several years. They had little furniture save what they could 
construct, and it is said their only table for some years was an 
inverted wash tub, on which was placed a plate containing the meat, 
from which each helped himself. Flax and wool were raised on the 
farm, from which was spun and woven the material to clothe the 
family. Mr. Scott was an industrious man, for besides carrying on 
his farm he soon added blacksmithing and shoemaking to his list of 



DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. 53 

industries, which he conducted to his own advantage as well as for 
the convenience of others. His children were proud of the fact 
that they were the possessors of a new pair of shoes each winter. 
Mr. Scott prospered and soon had a farm of several hundred acres, 
and in 1809 he bought 250 acres of land in Fairfax for $2500. In 
1 80 1 he built the second framed house in Fletcher, which is still in 
a good state of preservation, and the old homestead remained in the 
family till recently. The town of Hetcher was organized Nov. 16, 
1790, the first meetings being held in the log cabin of Mr. Scott; 
he was chosen moderator, and one of the first selectmen. In 1791 
he was chosen town clerk, holding the office till 1809, also in 1809 
and 1 8 10, in all 18 years; he also represented the town ten years, 
which illustrates the fact that he was held in high esteem by his 
townsmen. He received June 3, 1813, the commission of captain 
of the 7th Co. in the 2d Regt. Vermont militia.

1813, at the age of 51 years. He was one of the earliest settlers in 
Cambridge, Vt., where he settled about 17S5 on a farm in the east 
part of the town still remaining in the Holmes family. In the 
spring of 1786 his wife went to join him, going by foot from West to 
East Cambridge, then a wilderness, finding her way by the aid of 
marked trees, carrying one child and leading the other, till she 
reached the new log home her husband had gone to prepare, which 
was located at the foot of Nursery Hill. Her husband became a 
Baptist minister and was often away from home. On one occasion 
during his absence the house caught fire from a defective chimney, 
but she succeeded in subduing the flames by water brought from a

nearby spring. On another occasion in her husband's absence she 
went in search of the cows through a great body of woods and lost 
her way ; she finally sank exhausted upon a fallen log, thinking she 
must spend the night there ; but soon to her joy the house dog 
came bounding to her side and guided her home. These incidents 
show the hardships through which she passed in her early married 
life, but she lived to a good old age and had the happiness to be 
called blessed by her grandchildren.

61. MartinS Scott, (Jonathan^ Jonathan3, RicharcP, William') b. 
in Bennington, Vt., Dec. 22, 1768; m. Feb. 6, 1794, Mary, dau. of 
Major Samuel and Beulah (Fay) Billings. Mary Billings' father 
Samuel was the son of Samuel, (1698) who was the son of Samuel, 
(1665) who was the son of Samuel, (1638) who was the son of 
Richard (16 10) and Margery Billings, who were at Hartford, Ct., 
1640. 

Beulah Fay, who married Maj. Samuel Billings, was the daughter 
of Capt. Steven Fay, (landlord of Catamount Tavern) who was 
the son of Capt. John Fay of Westboro, Mass., who was the son 
of John Fay of Marlboro, Mass., who came to America from 
England, embarking at Gravesend on the 30th day of May, 1656 
on board of the vessel Speedwell, Robert Locke, master, arriving at 
Boston on the 27th of June. He first settled at Sudbury, Mass., but 
removed to Marlboro previous to 1669, where he d. Dec. 5, 1690. 
Beulah Fay was sister of Dr. Jones Fay, (Sec'y of Council of 
Safety) of John Fay, who was killed at the battle of Bennington, 
and also of Col. Joseph Fay, who was commissioned to visit General 
Washington and confer with him in relation to matters concerning 
the state. 

Martin Scott engaged in the coasting trade between New York 
and Charlestown, S. C, consisting largely in horses, marble, etc. 
On one of these trips in 1799 he was wrecked and picked up 
by a New London whaler ; this vessel in turn was also wrecked, 
and he was rescued by a schooner bound for the southern coast of 
South America for the purpose of procuring furs. Here the com- 
pany was dissolved, and he took passage with his portion of goods 
for Canton, China, where he remained for some time and adopted 
some of the customs of the country, at least so far as to wear 
the Chinese queue and dress. There he exchanged his goods 
for earthern ware, silks, teas, etc., and with them arrived in safety at 
his home in 1803 ; but he was so changed in appearance that at first 
he was not recognized by his family, who supposed him dead. 
Some of the curios which he brought from China are still in the 
possession of his grandsons, Olin and Franklin. He died in 
Charleston, S. C, in 181 2.

Bennington to Swanton, Vt., in March, 1800, and in company with 
his brother-in-law, Lemuel Barney, started -a forge for the manu- 
facture of iron. After a few years he closed out his interest in the 
iron business and gave his attention to farming, in which he proved 
successful and accumulated a handsome property. His townsmen 
appreciated his ability and entrusted him with various town ofifices. 
He was in the battle of Plattsburg in 1814, and was known as Capt. 
Scott. The first sermon preached in Swanton was at his house, 
because some of the ruder element had made it uncomfortable to 
hold the service at the schoolhouse where the appointment had been 
made.

speculator in stock of all kinds. He kept valuable horses for 
breeding, and is said to have imported into Vermont the first jack 
from England, for which he paid the then large sum of $500. He 
also had an interest in sending to Spain for a lot of fine-wooled 
merino sheep. They were very small and yielded but two pounds 
of wool, but of fine quality. In 1S27 he bought 40 Jersey heifers 
in Canada, but they did not prove very remunerative, as butter then 
commanded but seven cents per pound.

the steamer Arctic ; no issue. The following account of Col, Scott 
is taken from Heminway's Vermont : 

" His youth was spent on his father's farm, during which he 
received only a common school education. He was fond of hunt- 
ing from his boyhood, and in early life became an expert and noted 
marksman. He was always accustomed to aim at the head of game, 
and considered it disgraceful to make a wound in the body. He 
would drive a nail into a board part way with a hammer, and then 
taking the farthest distance at which his eye could distinctly see it, 
drive it home with his unerring bullet. His skill with his rifle was 
such that he was excluded from the common sport of turkey shoot- 
ing, no owner of a turkey being willing to risk his shot for anything 
less than the value of the bird.

" In April, 1814 he was appointed second lieutenant in the army ; 
became captain in 1828, and afterwards rose to the rank of 
lieutenant colonel, always sustaining the character of a brave and 
active ofificer. From about 1820 he was for 12 or 15 years stationed 
at Green Bay, Prairie du Chien, and other military posts on the 
Western frontier. Here he had great opportunity for indulging in 
his favorite amusement, and became famous in all that region for his 
extraordinary success in the pursuit of game. 

" Like all hunters from Nimrod down, he was fond of relating his 
field adventures, which he often did to the great entertainment of 
his hearers. One of his stories must be related here, though it loses 
most of its interest in attempting to put it on paper : He said that 
many of the wild animals throughout the forest he frequented had 
become so well acquainted with his skill as a marksman that they 
would surrender on being introduced to him without requiring any 
waste of powder, and this was particularly the case with racoons. 
When he drew near one on a tree, he would hallo to it, " Coon, 
come down," to which the animal would say, " Who is it that's 
calling me?" His answer would be, "I am Martin Scott." 
"What?" the coon would enquire, "Captain Martin Scott of the 
Army?" "Yes," would be the answer. "Well, Captain Scott," 
says the conquered animal, "you needn't fire. I am a gone coon 
and may as well come down," and down he would come at once. 

" Col. Scott lost his life in the Mexican war at the sanguinary 
battle of Moleno del Rey, and his remains were brought to Benning- 
ton and interred in the old Center burying ground beside those of 
his family relatives. A neat marble column has been placed over his 
grave with the following inscription, which is but a just tribute to his 
memory : 

"Col. Martin Scott, bom in Bennington, Jan. 17, 178S. Killed 
in Mexico, Sept. 8, 1847. 

"Brevet Lt. Col. of the 5th Regt. of Infantry; was ^2 years 
in the service of his country on the Western frontier, in Florida, 
in Mexico, at the battle of Palo Alto, Rescla de la Palma, 
Monterey, Vera Cruz, Cherubusco, and was killed at Moleno 
del Rey. 

" He commanded his regt. in nearly all these engagements 
and received two brevets for gallant conduct. No braver or 
better officer fell in the Mexican War."

Aug. 7, 1898 ; no children. Mrs. Scott is quietly 
spending her declining years surrounded by appre- 
ciative friends at her home in Pittsfield. 

The following sketch of Mr. Scott is gleaned from the Pittsfield 
Saturday Blade : 

" His early life was spent on a farm and his education was in the 
schools of his town and at the Amherst Academy. He taught 
school winters, beginning at the age of 18, and worked on the 
farm summers, according to the custom of that time. This he 
continued until 1849. He went to New Jersey and took charge of 
an academy there, which ranked about the same as our grammar 
schools. He was a natural teacher and his pupils loved him. 
Returning to Massachusetts, he was engaged for one season in 
managing the track-laying and bridge building of the Rutland and 
Washington R. R., and also worked on the Keene railroad in about 
the same capacity. 

"Returning again to Springfield he had charge of the first 
evening school in that city and the first evening school for adults in 
Western Massachusetts. He also taught for some time in one of the 
grammar schools of that city with signal success. This was in the 
spring of 1851, and he remained there for three years, and in the 



72 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. 

evening school for four years. In 1S54 Mr. Scott began an employ- 
ment with the Thompson & Co. Express Company, and ran on the 
road as messenger between Keene, N. H., and Springfield until 
December, 1855. 

" In December, 1855, Mr. Scott came to Pittsfield, and Berkshire 
thus gained a good citizen. He came as the agent of the Thompson 
& Co's. express, and continued in the position till the close of the 
office. He then acted as school superintendent for the committee 
for a time, and proved a most valuable man. 

" On the first of January, 1872, he was appointed jailer, a year and 
a day after its location in this city. He was appointed by Sheriff 
Root, and held the office continously till his resignation in the 
February prior to his death. His experiences and reminiscences in 
that duty would fill a volume. What scores of men has he turned 
the key upon. Some of the most desperate men in criminal annals 
have been in his care and custody. How many had he accompanied 
to and from the court house for trial, and his familiar form was 
always present, sittimg in his place near the dock at the criminal 
terms. He had seen nearly every judge on the bench during his 
term of office, and he was well known to all the bar and most of the 
jurors. Few men in the county were better known than he. 

" His townspeople and the whole people of Berkshire county fully 
relied on his integrity and fairness. An unswerving fidehty to duty 
and a clear conception of what was right, and performing it had 
endeared him to every one. He had executive ability in a high 
degree and nowhere was that called into play more than in the 
position, he held. He was methodical, accurate and honest. The 
affairs of the jail, with all its details, were as familiar to him as a 
book, and the sheriffs found in him a man on whom they could rely. 

" One of the most genial of men, with a great fund of general 
information, he was a delightful companion and neighbor, when the 
cares of the day were over and he was enjoying the companionship 
of friends or at his own cosy fireside. 

" Mr. Scott was for many years a member of the Masonic 
fraternity, joining the order in his early manhood. He was a 
member of Mystic lodge for years, and has held all the offices in its 
gift, being one of its long list of past masters. He was a member 
and past officer of Berkshire chapter, and of the Council of Royal 
and Select Masters. He was one of the chapter members of 
Berkshire commandery, Knights Templar. He had also attained the 
degree of the Ancient Scottish Rite Consistory, making him a 3 2d 
degree Mason. He was also one of the chapter members of Kassid 
Senate, K. A. E. O. In all these organizations he was an interested 
and helpful member."

acquired all the facilities necessary for carrying on the business from 
the quarrying to sawing, dressing, lettering, engraving, and placing 
the same in use. At that time Lanesboro had the most extensive 
marble works in the state. He was noted, like most of the early 
settlers in Hadley and Whately, for his earnest piety and sound 
moral principles, and to his early teachings his children attribute 
much of their success in life. The Brooklyn Daily Times of Apr. 4, 
1873, says of him : — 

" He was kind, cordial and frank in his manner, and was univer- 
sally respected and beloved. He was a man of sincere piety, and 
when a resident of Lanesboro was ever to be found at the head of 
all religious enterprises of the place, always manifesting a deep 
interest in every movement that concerned the welfare of the rising 
generation. He could readily quote almost any passage in the 
scripture. He died calmly, and with the full assurance that death 
was but the beginning of life. The spectacle of his departure was 
as instructive as that of Addison, who called his relatives about him 
to see ' how a Christian could die.' "

graduated in 1863 at the head of his class. 
Afterwards he took a course of lectures in New 
York. For a number of years he was associated in 
practice with Dr. Jared G. Baldwin of New York, 
since which time he has been in the enjoyment of a 
large practice. For about fifteen years he has been 
one of the consulting physicians at the hospital on 
VV^ard's Island.

difficult to care for the large family left her, and Guernsey, being a 
hardy boy, went out to work for small wages in the busy part of the 
year, and in the winter season did chores to pay for his board while 
he went to school. Thus he paid his way till of age. At the age of 
23 he married and settled on the farm near the noted lily pond in 
Vernon, where he lived some 20 years and where four children were 
added to his family. In 1864 he sold the old homestead and 
bought the Lyman farm in Vernon, which he retained till his death. 
By years of frugality and toil he amassed a handsome property. He 
began a religious life in 1840, and was connected with the M. E. 
church, in which he became a class leader. A fev; years later he 
became interested in the Christian Advent doctrine. He lived 
a sincere and devoted Christian life, beloved and respected by all 
who knew him. He was buried among his kindred in the old 
cemetery in Vernon, Vt.

"He had just attained his majority when he moved with his 
parents to Watertown, N. Y. His early education was supplied by 
the public schools of his native county, and he prepared for college 
at the Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary. In i860 he was graduated 
with the degree of Bachelor of Science from Genesee College, then 
located at Lima, N. Y., and which is now Syracuse LTniversity. After 
leaving college he studied law with Bagley & Wright, attorneys of 
Watertown, and in 1863 he was admitted to the bar. From that 
time until his death he was engaged in the active practice of his 
profession, except when his time was fully occupied with the duties 
of public office. He served as town clerk, justice of the peace, and 
as a member of the common council of Watertown, and in 1868 
was appointed clerk of the surrogate's court. In the fall of that year 
he was elected special surrogate, and served in that capacity until 
1877, when he was elected surrogate of Jefferson Co. He held this 
office for three terms of six years each, retiring from office in 1895. 
During these long years of public service he enjoyed as, high regard 



DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOTT. 85 

as a man as he won as an official. He joined the Methodist church 
when a boy, and continued this relation through life, acting as a 
trustee of the State street church twelve years. He was one of the 
leaders of the Republican party in the county. He was connected 
with various financial interests in Watertown, and was for a long 
period of years a director of the National Union Bank, and secretary 
of the Jefferson County Savings Bank, which position he held at the 
time of his death. In 1864 he became a member of Neptune Hose 
and Steamer Co. No. i of the Watertown Fire Department, and 
was soon afterwards elected a director of the company. In 1865 he 
was made secretary of the department and held that office at the 
time of his death. He was historian of the department, and had 
probably seen a larger term of continuous service than any other 
fireman in the state. In 1895 he was elected as the first president 
of the Jefferson County Volunteer Fireman's Association and served 
three successive terms. He was trustee of Syracuse University and 
vice president of its alumni association in 1S76-7. In 1873 this 
institution conferred upon him the degree of Master of Science. 
His affability and kindness made him popular among any body of 
men with whom he was thrown, and his management added 
materially to the progress of any movement with which he was 
connected." 

" In his death the city of Watertown lost a sterling citizen and 
Jefferson county one of its best known public men."

threatened Scott with the loss of his head if he did not instantly 
move on. Scot, undaunted, placed his cocked pistol to the officer's 
breast, looking him straight in the eye without saying a word. The 
officer sheathed his sword and allowed Scott to take his time to 
make the necessary repairs without further interference. This was 
a sample of the stuff he was made of. 

In his early days Mr. Scott often went to Montreal, a distance of 
130 miles, to find a good market for pork in the fall and winter 
season. On one of his trips he purchased a two-wheeled dump cart. 
On his return home this strange vehicle proved an irresistable 
attraction to the urchins of St. Albans, who failed to heed the 
warning to keep out of it, so Mr. Scott arranged matters to teacl) 
them a lesson by removing the pin which held the body of the cart 
to the part attached to the rear of his other carriage, so that just as 
he was passing through quite a muddy portion of the street he 
withdrew the pin and the troublesome boys suddenly were left 
floundering in the mire, minus a disposition to meddle with the 
strange craft again.

Hon. Obed Edson was a lineal descendant of Samuel Edson, who 
was born in England in 161 2 and came to Salem, Mass., in 163 8 or 
'39. Obed moved with his mother and stepfather. Major Sinclair, 
to Chautauqua county, N. Y., in 1810, where he was married ; moved 
to Warren county. Pa., from there to Johnstown, Pa., where he 
resided until 1855, when he removed with his family to Northern 
lUinois, moving from there to Pulaski county. 111., where he resided 
at the time of his death. He was quite prominent in civil, political 
and Masonic circles in the communities where he resided ; was 
associate justice of Warren county. Pa. ; member of the State 
Legislature ; collector of the State improvements at Johnstown ; 
assistant superintendent of the old Alleghany Portage railroad 
running over the mountains and connecting the east and west sec- 
tions of the old Pennsylvania canal. He was associate justice of 
Pulaski county. 111., which position he resigned a few weeks before 
his decease. He was for many years a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal church. His death was the result of a severe cold 
brought on by outdoor exposure to inclement weather while engaged 
in closing up his judicial business. The following is an excerpt from 
one of the many newspaper sketches published after his death : 

" He was ever a firm, consistent observer of truth and justice, 
and always contributed liberally to charitable objects. For nearly 
sixty years he was a true and faithful member of the Masonic frater- 
nity, and the large concourse of his Masonic brethren who paid the 
last sad rites to his memory gave evidence of the high esteem in 
which he had lived and died. To his family and friends he leaves a 
record more lasting than time, more enduring than marble, simply 
this : ' An honest man.' In his private life he was kind, considerate 
and hospitable, deeply feeling for the woes and afflictions of others. 
In all his private career he was ever found true to the trusts and 
responsibilities imposed upon him, and fearless in the execution of 
every duty. Age sat with decent grace upon him, and worthily 
became his silver locks. He bore the marks of a life well spent, of 
virtue, truth and honor fully tried, and of large and wide experience 
in all the relations he bore to his family, his kindred and his friends. 
Of a truth can it be said of his survivors, and well may we acclaim : 
' Weep ye fir trees, for the cedar has fallen.' "

The following brief sketches of Mrs. Sarah Scott Edson are taken 
from newspaper articles published after her death at Villa Ridge, 111. : 

"The married life of the deceased extended over a period of 
sixty-one years, the pearl (sixtieth) wedding anniversary being cele- 
brated a year ago last February. She removed from Massachusetts 
with her parents to Chautauqua county, N. Y., where she was 
married at an early age, she and her husband moving to Villa Ridge 
in 1864. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church 
for forty years. Her last sickness extended over a period of only 
eight days. Before passing away she expressed her faith that she was 
going to a home of eternal happiness with her Saviour, whom she had 
so long loved and served. Her life was one of usefulness and unselfish 
devotion to her family, of Christian fortitude and patience under 
affliction. Her children, her grandchildren and her great-grand- 
children will ever cherish with deep affection the memory of the 
dear departed." 

" Mrs. Edson was always a kind neighbor, in sympathy with the 
sorrowing, charitable to all, a devoted wife, a firm, consistent 
Christian, and a genuine model of female character and excellence. 
As a mother it would be impossible to overrate her merits ; watch- 
ful, patient, impartial and affectionate, governing with a firm but 
gentle hand, studying only as a mother can the diverse dispositions 
of her children with such affectionate judgment as to avoid even a 
suspicion of wrong or error."

He afterwards entered the office of " The Alleghany 
Mountain Echo" as a temporary make-shift, but 
that work proved so very congenial and so well 
suited to his tastes and inclination that he has, 
except at two brief intervals, been continuously 
connected with newspaper and printing work in 
different capacities down to the present time ; 
employed on Chicago daily papers for three years ;

(-0., McHenry Co. at Bloomington, and in DeWitt

of the A. N. Kellogg Newspaper Co. Mr. Edson 
still resides in Chicago but is not at present 
engaged in active business, having earned a well-

I20 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SCOIT. 

" Miss Clara Louise Scott will l)e remembered with lasting interest, not only 
by her immediate relatives and friends, but by a wide circle of those who 
knew her as an enthusiastic student and educator. She was at the time of 
her death a successful teacher in Public School No. ii, Borough of Brooklyn. 
Although not compelled by necessity to earn an income, she determined to 
devote her life to the work of education and charity. 

" In pursuit of her aims she sought to gain the fullest possible equipment, 
and to that end, after leaving public school, graduated from the Packer 
Collegiate Institute in the class of 1S89, and the Training School for 
Teachers, afterwards taking a course in medicine and graduating in 1897 as a 
physician from the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women. 
Her practice as a physician was limited mostly to those who needed her 
services and yet were not able to give her other compensation than gratitude. 
She spent two years in travel and study abroad, became proficient in the 
French and German languages and gave a considerable period to Red Cross 
work in the hospitals of Zurich, Switzerland. 

" During the last two years and up to the time of her death she was a 
teacher in the public school above named; but while so engaged she ardently 
pursued studies in Adelphi College, as well as in Harvard and Columbia 
summer schools. The strength of her character and the consecration of her 
life to her chosen occupation were set forth by Dr. A. Stewart Walsh, who 
knew the deceased from her childhood, in his memorial address at the time of 
her funeral. He spoke in part as follows : 

" Clara Louise Scott was a rare young woman and one whose life will long 
be an inspiration to all those who came within the scope of her mfluence. 
With every inducement and opportunity to enter upon a life of ease or social 
pleasures, she elected to divert her course from such lines that she might 
attain the joy of highest culture and the delights of philanthropic works. She 
believed the teacher's to be the grandest of professions, and in seeking a field 
where she might practice that profession turned toward that direction in 
which she might impress the largest number of receptive minds. She counted 
probable results and little regarded the burdens of the labors involved. 

" Long before she was compelled to lay down her chosen occupation those 
who knew her best feared that her constitution, in the beginning robust, was 
giving way under the stress of her ambition. She led her class up to within 
an hour of her taking to her final sick chamber. She was a martyr to her 
zeal. Her motive was to make every occupation a duty of conscience. 
Those who hold that every work worth doing is worth doing well will 
remember this young woman as a fine e.xemplar of the dictum. She well 
illustrated also how much a devoted life may accomplish in a brief period. 

" It is natural to say that her life, all told, counting only thirty-three human 
years, was regretably short ; but this is because we so easily forget that the 
thing we call death ends nothing. It may change a field but not a destiny, a 
form but not a character. God's time is made up of substantial eternities. 
Clocks are pathetic human inventions by which in childish miserliness mortals 
try to dole out the world's little arc of eternity, which we but vaguely compre- 
hend. We forget so easily that 

We live in deeds, not years; thoughts not breaths; 
In feelings, not in figures on the dial. 
We should count time by heart throbs; he most lives 
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best." 

III. Rufus Leonard Jr., b. July 26, 1872. He prepared 
for college at Polytechnic Institute, Brooklyn, 
and graduated at Amherst College, the youngest 
of his class, in 1892, and afterward at the New 
York law school, since which time he has been in

" Col. Scott is proprietor of the Bennington Machine Works, 
and is a practical mechanic and engineer of long and varied 
practice, in which he has been very successful. The old Bennington 
iron foundry was the first one in Vermont, having been started in 
1 8 10, and in the days when stoves were first made it was a leading 
concern in that business. Col. Scott became interested in these 
works in 185S, and in 1863 purchased the patterns, machinery, 
tools and good-will of the concern, and in 1865 he bought in like 
manner the plant of the old and well-estal)lished Eagle Iron Foundry 
and machine shop, and at the same time erected the extensive 
buildings now occupied by the Bennington Machine Works, and 
placed in them the machinery of both old establishments with new 
additional machinery. The leading line of work made here is gun- 
powder machinery, in some branches of which the proprietor has no 
rival. A large part of the gunpowder machinery used in the U. S. 
during the Civil War, and since, was made at these works and mill. 
From this establishment are now used in the leading gunpowder 
mills in Europe, South America, Mexico and the West Indes. At 
these works are also made pulp machinery in all its branches, 
quarrying and sawing appropriate of marble and other machinery." 

Col. Scott is also sole manufacturer of the N. E. Wood Pulp 
Grinder. Besides managing his own extensive business, Col. Scott 
takes a deep interest in public affairs. He is president of the 
Battle MoDument and Historical Association, and vice president of 
the Bennington Board of Trade.

The Canadian Branch of Scotts. 

Descendants of Daniel4 Scoit, (JoNA'rHAN3, Richard^, 

William'). 

Daniel Scott, b. in Sunderland, Mass., Dec. 3, 1744; m. Deis 
Herd. He d. Dec. 26, 1829; she d. Sept. 14, 1S24. 

The very valuable and interesting data connected with the 
Canadian branch of Scotts was collected by William M. Scott of 
Cambridge, Vt., who visited Canada several times for the purpose, 
and but for his lamented death in April, 1905, would doubtless have 
added much more to what is here given. The material came too 
late to appear in the proper place in the body of the work, so has 
been placed in the appendix. 

Daniel Scott removed from his native town to Bennington, Vt., 
where he was a member of the military company formed in 1764, 
and had previous experience in Indian warfare. During the conflict 
of the colonies with the mother country he proved loyal to the King, 
and found it convenient with many others to migrate to Canada 
about 1780, first stopping at Sorrell, then moving on to Cadwell's 
Manor, where he remained till about 1800, when he made his final 
settlement near Swartsburg in Brome Co., with his sons near him, 
where they spent their days in well-earned prosperity. This locality 
has since been kno.wn as the Scott Neighborhood, and in the vicinity 
is located the Scott cemetery, where many of the name have their 
last resting-place. Mr. Scott was a member of the Episcopal 
church, was a very exemplary and conscientious man and enjoyed 
the confidence of the community. His descendants are numerous 
and are scattered through the southern tier of towns in the Province 
of Quebec, and have proved a thrifty and respected people.

Appendix B — See page 28. 

Descendants of Eli Scott of Vermont and New York, a 
Branch of the Scott FA^^LY not Fully Identified. 

Eli Scott and posterity are given a place in the appendix because 
their connection with the line of William Scott of Hatfield has not 
yet been fully clear, and because there exist so many reasons for 
believing in their connection with that line. 

Eli Scott married Experience Bruce, whose mother was a Randall, 
and was known to have claimed direct descent from Robert Bruce 
of Scotland, but the birthplace of Eli Scott and wife, date of birth 
and marriage are not known to the writer, neither has their parentage 
been fully ascertained. Thus far the earliest mention discovered of 
Eli Scott is as a soldier of the Revolution on the rolls of Vermont, 
in the company of Captain Isaiah Fiske, with whom he served 
during two enlistments of six months each, which included the 
entire year of 1781. As there were two comrades in the same 
company of the name of Randall and one of Bruce, it seems quite 
probable that they were near relatives of Eli's wife. 

A tradition has long existed among the descendants of Eli Scott 
of a close relationship to the Scotts of Bennington, Vt., who 
removed from Sunderland, Mass., and it has been thought that EH 
was a son of Oliver^ Scott, Samuel^, William^, William' of Hatfield, 
Mass. This Oliver Scott was born in Sunderland, Mass., Feb. 27, 
1739; removed to Bennington, Vt., where he joined the military 



APPENDIX. 169 

company in 1764, and in 1767 was one of the first settlers in 
Rupert, Vt., where he built the first gristmill in that town ; a few 
years later he settled in Kent Hollow, some two miles from West 
Rupert. As the records of Rupert prior to 1800 were lost, the 
further account of Oliver Scott or of his family has been diflicult to 
trace. The older people of the town recall the name of Scott in 
Kent Hollow, probably descendants of Oliver. Among them was a 
David Scott, who died many years ago, an oft recurring name among 
William Scott's descendants. There was also William Scott, who 
removed to Lockport, N. Y., where he died in 1841, aged 59 years, 
making him born in 1782, quite probably a son of Oliver. 

If our Eli was the son of Oliver Scott, it may be supposed with 
good reason that he received the name in honor of his father's 
cousin, Eli Scott, who was killed in a fight with Indians at Charles- 
town, N. H., June 26, 1748. 

Another strong reason for believing that Eli Scott was closely 
related to the Bennington Scotts is the fact that all or nearly all the 
Scotts of Vermont who served in the war of the Revolution were 
descended from the Scotts of Sunderland, Mass. Again, it is worthy 
of note that David, the oldest son of Eli Scott, while in his numerous 
business trips between Western New York and Boston, often visited 
his Scott relatives in Western Massachusetts. It is also related that 
this David Scott once owned a large tract of timber land in Ben- 
nington, Wyoming Co., N. Y., which he is thought to have named 
in honor of the Vermont town long the residence of his relatives. 

In a recent correspondence with parties in Rupert, Vt., and 
vicinity, it was ascertained that no known descendants of Oliver 
Scott had lived there for many years, but it was found that many of 
the descendants of the early families of Rupert had removed to 
various sections of New York, notably to the vicinity of the final 
settlement of Eli Scott, following the custom of pioneer settlers to 
continue their neighborly relations in their migrations. It was also 
found that a Bruce family of direct descent from Robert Bruce of 
Scotland had an early settlement there, as well as Randall families, 
with whom our Eli Scott was allied by marriage. All these side 
incidents have their value in our final estimate of the probable 
relationship of Eli Scott to Oliver Scott of Rupert, Vermont. 

Eli Scott was a farmer after the Revolutionary war, and he 
resided at various places: At Albany, N. Y., about 1793; later at 



170 ALPENDIX. 

Skaneateles and Alexander; and about 18 10 he made his final 
settlement on the Chestnut Hill Ridge Road near Middleport, N. Y., 
where he died about 1S35. His widow resided with her son, Capt. 
David Scott, till her death in 1S42 at the age of 79. 

Children of Eli and Experience (Bruce) Scott:

2. Eucy2 Scott, (Eli') b. perhaps in Albany, N. Y., about 1793 ; 
m. William Gardner of Newark, N. J. They both lived beyond the 
age of So years. Their daughter, Abby Gardner Earl, who gave the 
family record, says : " He walked through the wilderness by forest 
roads from Newark, N. J., to Alexander, N. Y., and married Eucy 
Scott." It is probable that at the time, iSio, Eli Scott lived at 
Alexander, three miles from Attica. 

Children : 

I. David (Jardner, b. abt. 1S12 ; d. 1S84; unm.

in Iowa (1906) ; is married and has three children. 

IV. William Gardner, lived at Middleport, N. Y. ; m. and 

had children there, who are probably still alive. 

V. John Gardner, married and had children, and was

3. Capt. David^ Scott, (Eli') b. at Albany, N. Y., Mar. 11, 
1795, m. Feb. 5, 1822, Maria Stainton, b. in Woodstock, Vt., Aug. 2, 
1804; d. in Attica, N. Y., Jan. 20, 1891. He d. in Attica, N. Y., 
June 5, 1864. 

He came to Western New York, perhaps prior to 181 2, with his 
parents. He served in the militia in 18 14 in the Plattsburg cam- 
paign. In 1825 he was given a captain's commission by Gov. 
DeWitt Clinton, and was ever after known as Captain Scott, and 
served in Maj.-Gen. Stanton's division. He was a prominent 
merchant in Attica from 1820 to 1850, when he removed to 
Waupaca, Wis., remaining there until 1861, when in ill health he 
returned to Attica and lived the three remaining years of his life 
with his daughter, Mrs. Bigelow, and Mrs. Dike of Brooklyn. He 
was several times a member of the Legislature of New York, and 
was much employed in public affairs on account of his eloquence as 
a speaker and lecturer. 

He was a life-long member of the Masonic order, and prominent 
during the Anti-Masonic movement in upholding the integrity of his 
brethren. In early life both he and his wife were Methodists, but 
later joined the Episcopal church and died fervent members of that 
body. In early life he was much engaged in lumber mills and 
making potash, for which he bought extensive forest tracts in the 
town of Bennington, N, Y., where he had a property known as 
Scottville, now known as Folsomdale, formerly the child home of 
the wife of President Cleveland. The Folsoms, who were of kin to 
him, bought this property of Mr. Scott. The old house built there 
by Folsom and Scott is still standing. Capt. Scott built the two 
earliest railroads in Western New York, now a part of the N. Y. 
Central from Batavia to Rochester and Batavia to Attica, and a part 
of the Erie railroad from Attica to Buffalo, 34 miles. There is a 
street named for him near the railroad station in Buffalo. 

In 1850 he removed to Waupaca, Wis., then a wild region inhab- 
ited by Indians. Here as in Attica his ability was recognized and 
he became an important factor in developing the country. He was 
elected as its first member to the Legislature, and received the 
appointment of postmaster, which he held till 1861. The town 
which he aided to develop has become one of the most flourishing 
towns in the State. 



172 APPENDIX. 

Capt. Scott was a man of great energy and activity, as well as of 
property, and left an honored memory both in the East and West, 
where his l)usy life was spent. 

Maria Stanton, the wife of Capt. Scott, was the daughter of 
Maj.-Gen. Phineas3 Stanton, b. at Stonington, Conn., 1780, and 
Polly Thomas, dau. of Elias Thomas, who was descended through 
his mother, Mary Alden, from the Aldens of the Mayflower, and his 
wife, Sylvia Thompson, from Thomas Cooke of the Mayflower. As 
Phineas Stanton was as certainly from John Rowland of the May- 
flower, so Maria Stanton had three lines of that early settlement in 
her veins, besides the many intervening ones. Her father, Maj.-Gen. 
Stanton, was in eleven battles on the Canadian frontier war of 
1812-15, ^iiJ was chief of (ien. Peter B. Porter's staff.

<& Earle for a time, antl later returned to Brockport, where after her 
husband's death Phoebe Root resided with them. Eastman Colby 
and wife died childless, leaving a large estate to a neice of Mr. 
Colby. So the family of Phabe Scott Root is extinct. She lived 
to a great age at Brockport.

honor and distinction, and in his death left an unsullied name 
as a rich legacy to his family, and to all who knew him. Mrs. Scott

children. Dr. Bradley Gaither then a student of 
medicine, met her in Berlin, Germany, where she, 
in company with her uncle, Camden C. Dike, and 
family, were passing the winter. Dr. Gaither's 
family was one of the most important elements m 
the early history of Maryland, and the men of that 
family joined in all the wars ; his father served as 
major of artillery in the Confederate Army of the 
Civil war, and later as Colonel of the 5th Mary- 
land regiment, as he was still later of the veterans 
of that corps; his son, (ieorge Gaither, became 
colonel of the 5th Maryland, the corps of the elite 
of the state.

1 74 - APPENDIX. 

a student in the ofifice of Jndge Scott, where he was kindly cared for 
in his last illness. He had gone to Virginia with the purpose of 
buying for his father the Sudley Springs House, which figured in 
both battles of Bull Run, but his father, foreseeing the coming con- 
flict, dissuaded him, and saved the family from being participants in 
the horrors of those two battles. 

7. Ellen Maria3 Scott, (Capt. David^ Eli') b. in Attica, N. Y., 
Jan. 31, 1827 ; m. abt. 1847, Merritt C. Bigelow; he d. 1869. She 
survived her husband and d. at the home of her son in New York. 
He was a successful wool merchant up to the time of his death.

Nettie Starker of Albion, N. Y. Have two sons. 
He has been engaged in the wool business all his 
life, first on his own account, but is now the agent 
of Swift Co., having charge of their wool depart- 
ment in Philadelphia, 
n. Walter Scott Bigelow, b. abt. 1S65. He is a graduate 
of Rochester University, and was for several years 
connected with the N. Y. Tribune and other 
papers. He is now engaged in the export trade 
with the Orient. Resides in New York city. 

8. Col. John David3 Scott, (Capt. David-, Eli') b. in Attica, 
N. Y., Aug. 3, 1834, unm. ; d. in New Orleans, I>a., Nov. 19, 1890. 
Some years previous to the Civil War he had gone to New Orleans, 
where he fell a victim to yellow fever, was saved by tender care and 
nursing and came to love the people there, so it was quite natural 
that when the war broke out he sided with the South and fought for 
their cause. In time he was promoted to be a colonel, was in 
charge of the heavy artillery and won distinguished honors. He 
was an ideal soldier, and on horseback was the embodyment of 
grace and dignity. He was chief of staff to Maj.-Gen. McGlynn, 
and had been an officer in the regular heavy artillery, a regiment 
raised at the outbreak of the war, and later was an officer of the 
Louisiana Field Artillery, an organization still existing. His long and 
gallant service had endeared him to the people of his adopted 
state, so that on his death unusual military, civil and Masonic honors 
were paid to his memory by state, military and civic officials, 
showing in some degree the high estimation in which he was held.

Crosby Dike of Brooklyn, N. Y; he d. Oct. 5, 1894. She resides 
in Brooklyn. He was b. in Providence, R. 1., 1832, son of Alvin 
Valentine and Phebe (Prince) Dike. She was a daughter of James 
Prince of a Plymouth family, and descended from William Brewster, 
John Howland, etc. He was for many years a member of the firm 
of Dike Brothers, wool merchants of New York city. He retired 
in 1887 and for three years traveled in Europe with his family, 
returning to Brooklyn, where he resided till his death. Mrs. Dike is 
very prominent in women's clubs and is frequently requested to 
speak or preside in meetings. She is prominent in all the social 
movements of the Borough of Brooklyn, and has just aided in 
establishing the Master School of Music, to teach only principals of 
higher worth, of which she is president. She has been a member of 
the Ancient Church of the Pilgrims since 1S57, of which her 
husband was aJso a member.

University, which his ancestors helped to foimd, 
also from Columbia Law School in 1887. He is a 
lawyer, is a member of many clubs and very pop-

New York state ; sheriff of King's Co., Brooklyn, 
N. Y. He was a prominent candidate for the

reside in Hartford, Conn., where he is secretary of 
the Capewith Horse Nail Co. They have one 
child, Stanton Williams, b. 1906, who can claim 
through his father a descent from the Plantagenet 
Kings of England, as a descendant of Lady Parsons, 
wife of Col. John Humphrey, the early settler of 
I-ynn. She was a daughter of the third earl of 
Lmcoln, and both her father and mother had 
Plantagenet blood, as may be seen in the Williams- 
Walsworth genealogy. 

10. 'J1iomas3 Scott, (Capt. David^ Eli') b. in Attica, N. Y., 
Jan. 31, i,S43 ; unm. ; resides in New York city. On attaining his 
majority Mr. Scott became a wool merchant in New York city under 
the firm name of Dike Brothers until 18,87, and later under the 
name of Thomas Scott & Company until 1891, when he retired 
from business and after that passed several years in travel in 
European countries. In business years he had much trade with 
foreign countries as an exporter, which enabled him to aid the tariff 
commissioners in 1890 at the hearings on the McKinley tariff, and 
of the Dingley 1S91 tariff. He was a constant correspondent of 
Hon. William Lawrence, president of the National Wool Growers' 
Association, and was able to aid him in securing the present " Wool 
and Woolen" schedule of the tariff which has brought prosperity to 
the wool and woolen industry of the United States. Although Mr. 
Lawrence is dead, yet the June (1905) number of the Woolen 
Manufacturers' Bulletin gave him the honor of winning in the 
controversy and acknowledged he was right. 

Again, when the eleven reciprocity treaties of the Dingley tariff 
were negotiated unwisely by the Department of State, particularly 
the wool treaty with Argentina, Dec, 1899, Thomas Scott in a series 
of letters exposed the dishonesty and deceit of the American 
the minister at Buenos Ayres, Argentina, which not only defeated 
treaty with Argentina on wool, but carried the other ten treaties 
with foreign countries into the pigeon holes of the Senate, where 
they died a natural death by limitation. So Mr. Scott may jusdy 
feel proud of two performances, viz: Defeating the dishonest 
methods of the Treasury Department in wool and woolen schedules 
from 1868 to 1890, which had cost the country at least one hundred 
and forty millions of dollars. This has been replaced by an honest

and Strict accounting in tariff lines, producinc; at least $15,000,000 
a year more in duty on wool and woolens alone than was formerly 
collected under loose treasury methods, which made officials of that 
department superior to the law of 1868 up to 1890, which law, again 
attempted in the Dingley law of 1897, is now in force. 

Wool growing and wool manufacturing is now profitable and not 
attended with the constant bankruptcies which occurred prior to 
1897. So in the tariff of 1890 and 1S97 and in the defeat of the 
Reciprocity treaty of the Dingley law, Mr. Scott can justly claim 
much credit, of which Hon. Wilbur F. Wakeman, secretary of the 
Protection Tariff, has given, to whose journal, the American 
Economist, Mr. Scott has been many years a contributor without 
reward, save only that the people of the United States have now an 
honest v/ool and woolen tariff, honestly administered. 

From 1875 to 1 89 1 Mr. Scott was an editorial writer in the old 
United States Economist, the most prominent wool and woolen 
journal of the time. He constantly exposed the scandals, but it 
was not until Hon. William Lawrence took up the case as president 
of the National Wool Growers' Association, with the wool states of 
the West and their senators and representatives in Congress with 
him; then came the hearings which showed the questionable 
methods, which may be read in the two great volumes called the 
"Hearings before the Committee of Ways and Means, 1889-90," or 
the "McKinley Law and 1897 Dingley Law." As for the reciprocity 
treaties, they are dead, and doubtless Mr. Scott's wool letters on 
Argentina, in the Economist, finished them with most men. 

For the past eight years Mr. Scott has been engaged in the 
attempt to defeat the vast schemes of outlays in the city of New 
York for a new water supply, for he contends that the city already 
has a greater supply than any other city in the world. 

The compiler of this volume is indebted to Mr. Thomas Scott for 
most of the data connected with the descendants of Eli Scott and 
takes this occasion to say that if any one into whose hands the fore- 
going account may fall, can furnish any clue to the parentage of Lli 
Scott, it will be most thankfully received. 



I7S APPENDIX. 

Appendix C. 
Captain VVaitstill Scott. 

The descendants of Eli Scott have long held the tradition that 
their ancestor was closely allied to Captain VVaitstill Scott without 
fully establishing the connection ; so in order to aid in the solution of 
the problem the following account is inserted. All efforts to 
ascertain the Captain's parentage have thus far proved unavailing, 
and it has been thought that the record of his birth was never 
placed upon the public records, as was often the case in those days. 
It is highly probable however, that he was descended from William 
Scott of Hatfield. 

Captain VVaitstill Scott was of Westmoreland, N. H., in the time 
of the Revolution, and commanded the company that marched 
from that town on occasion of the alarm at Ticonderoga in May, 
1777. He probably came from Chesterfield with his son Lyman 
between 1815 and 1819, and lived at the Factory Village. His wife 
was Lydia, who d. Jan. 22, 1826, in her 80th year. He died Mar. 6, 
1824, ae. 82,* (hence b. 1742). His descendants continue in the 
vicinity of his old home and in Brattleboro, Vt. The following 
■ account does not aim to be comjjlete, but enough is given to place 
the family on record. 

Children : 

1. Eunice, b. 1762. 

H. Woodruff (Probably) b. 176S; m. Hannah, who. d. 
Oct. 15, 1842, ae. 72. He d. Feb. 16, 1846, ae.

John Scott of Springfield, Mass., 
And Some of His Descendants. 

The first glimpse we obtain of John Scott, the progenitor of the 
name in Springfield and Palmer, is in the Springfield record of 
his marriage in 1659. After giving the subject much study and 
research, the writer has arrived at the conclusion that possibly John 
and William Scott, who both arrived in Springfield and Hadley 
respectively at about the same time, were brothers and emigrants 
from England. Future research may disprove this conclusion, but 
thus far no trace of their parentage has been found in this country. 
One evidence of the consanguinity of these two men is the similarity 
of the names of their children. John Scott married, July 26, 1659, 
Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Bliss. Her father was 
born in Okehampton, in the village of Belstone, County Devon, 
Eng., son of Thomas Bliss of Belstone. He first settled in Braintree, 
but removed to Hatfield in 1639, where he died in 1650. His widow, 
Margaret, a capable woman, removed to Springfield with her chil- 
dren save a daughter Ann, who married Robert Chapin, and a son 
Thomas, who first removed to Saybrook about 1644, thence to 
Norwich about 1660; she died in Springfield Aug. 28, 1684. John 
Scott bought a small tract of land in 1664 on the Agawam river. 
The records say that in 1664 "The jury also presented Capt. 
Pynchon and John Scott for not mayntayning their fences on the 
west side of ye river, a breach of the law of this jurisdiction." 
He was one of the soldiers who look part in the celebrated " Trails 
fight" in 1676; he was a citizen of Springfield in 1678, when he 
took the oath of allegiance, but a few years later he removed to 
Sufifield, where he was one of the early grantees ; there his youngest 
child was bom, and there he died Jan. 2, 1689-90, as found on the 
Sufifield records. He left an estate valued /:2 24-1 8s., which was

apportioned to his widow and children. His widow married Nov. 19, 
1690, Samuel Terry Sen. of Springfield, and died Sept. 27, 1705; 
he died at Enfield 1731. It is a singular fact that while there are 
many descendants of John Scott still living bearing other names, 
there are none, so far as the knowledge of the writer extends, who 
bear the name of Scott in the male line.

May 21, 1724, Mary Frost, dau. of Isaac and Mary (Barker) Frost, 
b. in Springfield Jan. i, 1696-7; he d. in Brimfield 1759. Some 
doubt has been expressed whether the Ebenezer Scott who settled 
in Brimfield about 1723 was the son of John Scott, in part because 
it makes him nearly 50 years of age at marriage ,; but the writer has 
an instance of a man marrying for the first time at the age of 72, and 
not a few who have first contracted marriage at nearly 50 years of 
age. We find in the Springfield records that Ebenezer Scott was sick 
of a fever in 1708, and the selectmen ordered his brother William, and 
John Fowler, a brother-in-law, to care for him, which implies that he 
was not then married; in 17 16 he deeded land in Springfield to his 
brother William. In 1731 Ebenezer Scott was chosen a tithingman 
in Brimfield, and in 1757 he was allotted a seat in the meeting 
house there. Power of administration was granted his widow Mary 
Aug. 29, 1757.; the property inventoried ^136-6-2, including real 
estate in Springfield. In the settlement of the estate one child, 
Achsah, is mentioned. On Feb. 15, 1764, Joseph Frost was ap- 
pointed guardian to Achsah Scott, a minor under 14 years of age, 
and sole heir to Ebenezer Scott, late of Brimfield. (See Reg. of 
Probate, Northampton, Book 10, p. 209.) Nov. 20, 1750, Ebenezer 
Scott sold land in Brimfield to a son Ebenezer, being a part of his 
portion ; he probably died before his father, as his sister Achsah is 
said to be the only heir after her father's death.

in 1724, but he located in Palmer before 1732, on the section now 
owned by the Wright Wire Company. In 1733 the committee sent 
by the court confirmed to him his claim of 100 acres where his 
house and improvements then were, showing he had settled there 
some time j^revious to that date. At the first town meeting held in 
1733 he was one of a committee of three appointed to "prepare a 
draught of rules and orders for regulating the settlement."

1673. He removed to Suffield, Ct., after 17 10, where he d. in 1748. 
She d. in Suffield, Oct. 19, 1747. Recently an old record has been 
found in Springfield which says John Saley and Mary Scott of 
Suffield were m. Feb. 16, 1696-7, which has caused the question to 
be raised whether or not she was the daughter of John Scott ; if she 
was she would have been but 1 7 years old. Now Judd says the wife of 
Ebenezer Nash was the daughter of John Scott of Springfield. The 
Nash Genealogy gives this account : " Ebenezer Nash married the 
last of July, 1 701, Mary Scott, the young woman who was named in 
the agreement of Timothy Nash's heirs as having been brought up 
in the family and forgotten in the will." 

The agreement was " That Mary Scott, who hath been brought up 
as a child under our honored father and mother's care and education 
till now she is of age for herself, that she shall have out of the 
inventoried estate before any distribution subtracted out of the 
total thereof, besides three sheepe, with the lambs to them, the full 
sum of Six pounds as the prizes in the inventory or other good pay 
to be payed in conveynient time. Signed March 28, 1699." 

We know that John Scott died when his daughter Mary was but 
10 years old, and that her mother married the same year of her 
husband's death Samuel Terry, who had a large family, so that it 



DESCENDANTS OF JOHN SCOTT. 1 85 

would be quite natural for Mary to have been bound out, as was 
quite usual in those days, to a respectable family like that of Timothy 
Nash. It is stated that the Mary Scott in the Nash family had been 
with them since a child, and had come of age in 1699, which just 
tallies with the case of John Scott's daughter. In view of all these 
facts there remains little room for doubt about the correctness of 
Judd's statement.

had an assignment of land in Bernardston on account of his grand- 
father's — John Scott — service in the "Falls fight" in 1676. From

Lieut. Scott was well educated, and well read in law ; appreciatmg 
his fitness for the position, the town petitioned the Governor to 
appoint him a justice of the peace, which was granted. He was a 
very prominent man during the Revolutionary period, and was 
appointed the agent for Hampden county to collect and forward 
material for the army. He was clerk and treasurer of the Elbow 
Plantation from 1746 to 1750; treasurer of Palmer 1752 to 
1754; selectman 1761 to 1775 ; representative i777- At the tmie 
of his death he owned land in Palmer, Greenwich, Wilbraham, 
Ludlow and West Springfield. The larger part of his estate was 
devised to his wife Abigail. Lt. Scott was one of the Palmer slave 
owners ; he had several born in his household, Peter and Nancy bemg 
their parents. He gave each of his children a slave, the boy, Cx^sar, 
-oing to John Scott of Middletown ; Rose went to William ; she vvas 
a bright, good-looking girl, and a good cook. She was given her 
freedom before her master's death, after which she lived for twenty 
years in the family of Asa Bates. The boy Hannibal went to Dr. 
Calvin Scott, and the girl Tibbee to Margaret.

It may be stated in this connection that the writer has examined

grand ovation on his return home. He then studied law some time 
in the office of Lawyer Pynchon of Springfield. On the completion 
of his studies he was appointed justice of the peace for Palmer in 
1 741. His father having conducted a tavern at the old Scott home- 
stead for many years, built for his son near by in 1774 one of the 
finest houses in town for a tavern. Here Mr. Scott held courts of 
justice and conducted an extensive business out of town. His wife 
was a woman of remarkable ability, and looked after the interests of 
the tavern and farm during his absence. It was at this house that 
Washington stopped for breakfast on the morning of Oct. 22, 1789, 
on his visit to New England, and it was with a good degree of pride 
that the family exhibited the table linen used on that occasion for

Indiana Asbury — now De Pauw — University. In addition to his 
law business he is extensively interested in the breeding of 
Aberdeen-Angus catde, and was also a large shareholder in the 
Sioux City (Iowa) Traction Company. Mrs. Goodwin was educated 
at Rye Seminary, Rye, N. Y. Their only child, a daughter, is now

About 1902 Mr. Goodwin disposed of his railway interests and 
purchased the Ellsworth estate at Naperville, Illinois. This is one of 
the most famous properties, embracing about four hundred acres, in 
that part of the state. The town of Naperville was organized before 
its neighbor, the City of Chicago, twenty-eight miles away, was 
named, and Mr. Goodwin's present residence, known as Heatherton, 
occupies the site of Old Fort Payne, erected on Fort Hill as a 
defense and refuge for the settlers in the Black Hawk War. Mr. 
Goodwin maintains his herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle at this place, 
and is at present the president of the American Aberdeen-Angus 
Breeders' Association. His law partner is General John C. Black,
